Whether the arm is wrapped around the shoulders or the neck, once your hips are past your opponents' you need to drop to provide momentum for the toss, which is not my favourite thing. There's just nothing like landing a throw and turning that standing advantage into a Rick Hawn style finish.

If I had a quarter for every time I heard someone say that you shouldn't do drop seoi nage because it risks getting your back taken, I could buy one mediocre handjob or about three bad ones.

While yeah, you can get your back taken if you follow the IPPON JUDO FOLLOW THROUGH WARRIOR SPIRIT RARRRGH mentality, if you're actually smart with your koshi waza and have an effective hikite and tsurite the benefits far outweigh the risks.

The real danger of drop seoinage isn't on the mat, it's the potential effects on your knees. I spent weeks on crutches this spring due to the effects of constant drop knee attacks.

Knee-pads. Maybe spray-paint them or get them cut from your favourite suit cloth for everyday use. Or just don't drop.

When you get concerned about the risk that presents to your back, remember that throws are as situational as any other move. You w(c)ouldn't use a butterfly sweep from mount, just like you wouldn't do standing seoi on an opponent who insists on squatting and falling back. Feel him and throw him in the direction he's going. If you're trying the throw and can feel he isn't coming forward you reverse into an inside leg trip. Or you even feed him some shoulder throw faints until he reacts backwards continuously and drop him with the sweep.
